Caldararo recounts the building's personal 'biography' to convey not only the 'facts about,' but the 'feelings about' the flesh and blood of the building and its surrounding neighborhood.' -Jerome Krase, Brooklyn College of The City University of New York, USA'This unique contribution to the field of urban and regional studies counteracts current trends in the ethnographies of urban movements by offering, with great hindsight, an analysis from a physical space, and from first-hand experience. The focal point is one building, and the author is a former tenant.

Caldararo, a tenant at the center of its strikes and activities, provides a unique perspective that counteracts current trends in ethnographies of urban movements by grounding its analysis in physical and tangible space.…
